The Polyphonic Spree @ The Forum Theatre, Melbourne (27/02/2010)

This had to be one of the most visually appealing and fun gigs I've ever been to! The Polyphonic Spree, this time touring with 17 members, are always amazing live (how can you now be with that many musicians?) but this was just plain exceptional! Everyone was costumed up with indian headdresses, bling and flashing slap bands - SLAP BANDS! And The Polyphonic Spree played for over 2 hours (note, though, their intro went for about 15 minutes... :P). And there were BALLOONS! YAY!

And I cannot recommend The New Orleans Bingo Show highly enough! They opened the night and put on SUCH an entertaining show. Pretty cool sound, too.



You can read all about it in my review on fasterlouder by heading here.

I've got some videos, too. The first is their opening track, minus the lengthy, lengthy introduction behind the curtain.


The second is Two Thousand Places:


And lastly, here's a bit of the New Orleans Bingo Show:


Oh, and nothing beats rockin' out on the cello!

Just have a couple of links I wanted to post up on here.

Luluc @ Christmas Street Warehouse (11/02/2010), reviewed on thedwarf here. Such a beautiful sound.

Joe Gideon & The Shark @ The East Brunswick Club (20/02/2010), reviewed on fasterlouder here.

The almighty Faith No More and The Eagles of Death Metal @ Festival Hall (Festering Hall) (25/02/2010), reviewed on fasterlouder also here. We may have been in the worst possible seats for this show, but it sure as hell was a good one!

AC/DC @ Etihad Stadium, Melbourne (13/02/2010)

Just wanted to share this photo to try and get across the scale of this thing...



Seriously huge. And everyone was wearing glowing red devil horns, which made the crowd look incredible from up on high where I was.

I reviewed the show for fasterlouder, head here for a read.

Laneway Festival in Footscray, Melbourne (30/01/2010)

Whoa, ok, I'm seriously behind in getting these things up on here...

This is from way back in January, remember then? Dammit, it's March already.

Awesome day in Footscray (can you believe it?). Sun + Awesome music = yay! Florence & The Machine were beyond great, Mumford & Sons had serious sound issues that made their "hype moment of the day" a little bit of a problem, Dappled Cities were creepy in their golden suits, and everything each way and in between was pretty darn good.

I reviewed the day here for thedwarf, so please head over and have a read.

One video from the day, it's Hockey playing Song Away:
